### Understanding the Complaint Rate Analysis Report

This report lists all routes for the publication(s) selected. Each route’s delivery type, total draw for the report period, and number of complaints is shown. The complaints are divided by 1000 to get the complaints per thousand figure. Notice that the report lists delivery complaints separately (when a complaint code is set up, it is defined as delivery or non-delivery related). Also, since the complaint code can be changed after the complaint is processed, the report distinguishes between original delivery complaints (at the time of the End Date) and current delivery complaints, and lists the number of delivery complaints whose complaint code was changed.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** *If a complaint was inadvertently entered as a delivery complaint or vice versa, you can change the complaint code after that complaint has processed (if you have security to modify a processed complaint code).*
